Saw it yesterday with my girlfriend. Though I had to drag her to watch it. Good thing is that she didn't fall asleep like the first two movie. Which tell you that this third one is quite good :D

In Star Wars : Clone Wars animation that was shown in Cartoon Network. In one episode, Grievous was sorrounded by 4 Jedi. Grievous killed 1, seriously injured 2. Which shows you how good his light saber fighting techninque is. Also he evaded a whole squad of clone soldiers shooting at him. He even escape a ship machine gun shooting at him. However, in the movie his light saber fighting techinque somewhat sucks! and he couldn't even evade obi wan kenobi's shooting at him. What gives? I'm quite dissapointed at that.

As was I. Although it probably is true what you're saying, Timber, saying "'twas the Force that did it!" is a lame explanation.

Don't get me wrong, though. I'm a major SW-geek myself. It only seems I'm growing more critical as I get older. Is that a sign of wisdom? [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] :D

No, it's the dark side. Careful you must be. [img]graemlins/starwars.gif[/img]

Careful, buddy, or I'll have to do my Transatlantic choke-a-bitch move.

I think Palpatine was either:

a) playing into Anakin's weaknesses. Palpatine is a master manipulator, and it's possible that no one has this knowledge and that it was a lie.

or

b) it is possible, but only on yourself. Palpatine is really, really old.

BTW, did anyone else think he kinda looked like a scrotum? ;)

"Empire" was directed by Irvin Kershner, not Steven Spielberg.

[img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img] Aww man, Now I will never be able to watch that movie again with a straight face :D

Going back to earlier posts, do people think Palpatine was ever really in danger from Mace, or was he simply toying with him in order to make Anakin turn? As badass as Mace was, I can't see him actually beating the Sith Lord, but if that's the case, why would Palpatine disfigure his own face? To add to the effect for Anakin, since all he cared about was power? Opinions?

I guess it's just cool for a Sith Lord to have that scarey visage. The effect it had on Ani was a plus. Obviously, he wasn't as close to dying from the lighting as he said, because once Mace suddenly lost the ability to count to ten on his fingers, Palps lit him up faster than a doobie at a Dead concert. But, yeah, I think Mace could and did best him at saber fighting, especially since he had help. Palps probably, in that rare moment, actually left some of his fate up to chance.

His long-term plan had to be flexible and able to deal with uncertainties along the way. Dooku could easily have been killed on Geonosis. Obi got a jump-start by finding the cloners through the toxic dart. He probably didn't intend for Darth Maul to die. Etc, etc.

Oh the reveling in geeky talk going on here is just all-encompassing :D or something
just saw this tonight and yeah, I have to say it was pretty good, though only saw the others once each so can't really remember much to compare it with...
